Nothing says easy and casual like a chambray dress, and this striped chambray dress from the Loft is no exception (it also comes in a top version that would be perfect with white shorts or pants!). The material is really light and a little bit loose so it is perfect for the summer heat. Plus, I love the fact that all you have to do is throw on the dress and your outfit is 80% complete. I've linked up some more chambray dresses below (I love this floral one and it's on sale)… after this first one, I think I'm hooked!

On another note, today is my birthday… I am officially 24! It's a little scary how time flies after college, isn't it? I don't have too many big plans for today other than dinner with my family tonight. I don't know what it is about my birthday, but I usually end up crying on this day and always have. I hate it! Here's to hoping I make it through today without tears!

I LOVE this dress! So cute, comfy and chic at the same time. I have a beach vacation coming up and this would be perfect just to throw on for drinks & dinner after a long day in the sun! Happy Birthday!!! I hope it as fabulous as you and you make it through the day without any tears, unless they're happy ones :) And don't feel bad, I cried almost alllll day when I turned 26, haha!

Happy Birthday..I definitely am now getting more and more ambivalent about birthdays..this year was 25 and I was more sad at the fact I wasn't where I'd thought I'd be than happy at another year. I hope you don't cry, and if you do, just eat a lot of cake!
